well,i hear on hear of people kiling them with a 17hmr,isnt that a smaller bullet.and with 22mags,theres ammo where the 22lr will give the gun 22mag performance.
Yes, but the 17 is a much faster bullet. And for smaller game at longer distances (100-150 yards) the 17 is not a bad choice. I have killed A yote at 100 with my 17 but it is much better to use a larger bullet.
As for 22lr ammo that shoots as good as a 22 mag, no there is not a cartridge that compares. Now a 22lr CCI Stinger shoots faster and better (IMO) than a Remington 22lr that comes in a box of 500. But, it still does not shoot as fast or accurate as a 22 mag.
My suggestion, buy a 22-250, .223, .243 or just use your deer rifle for yotes and groundhogs.
